BOYCOTTS DISCUSSED
In the X. of l.. Assembly-A Fight on the
Administration.

Administration.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, October 49,
The convention Of the X. of l.. met in
secret session this morning, and examined
the reports of the committees.
MISNEAPOLIs, October 12.-The princi-
pal part Of the afternoon session Of the X.
of l.. general assembly was devoted to the
report OF the committee on strikes and
boycetts. 'Inexpedient to legislate" was the
recommendation OF the committee regarding
the document asking that special bureau OF
strikes be established. Though the report
was sharply antagonized, the majority of
the assembly agreed with the committee,
and no bureau will be formed. Contin-
uing its report, the committee offered sew
eral suggestions as to the conduct of strikes
and bOycotts.
The subject of conspiracy coming up. a
Pittssburg delegate stated that he had
been arrested six times on this charge
when his only offense was that of putting
his head out of the window after night
fall. Another said that thirty Knights
were locked up for playing Hail Col
umbia" before the entrance to coal mine
during strike. 1t was also ayerred that
some men had been under Indictment in
Kentucky for the simple fact of belonging
to the order. Cases of heartless blacklist
ing and malicious prosecution on the part
of the enemies OF the order were cited
with freedom, hut the report of the COM
mittee advising the reference of all
cases for investigation was adopted
The closing words, Think before you
strike. Don't boycott except when you
can't help it." were significant of the adj
yanced position of the order, on these i'm
portant subjects. A recommendation OF
the committee that the assistance fund be
abolished, as il tended to encourage strikes
and asking for the enforcement Of the
strictest discipline, in all cases was referred
| to the special committee on constitution.
The committee fayors the endorsement OF
the General Executive Boards action in
the matter of the stock yards strike in
Chicago, but delegate wishing to explain
| something from the standpoint of
the other side, the matter was postponed
for his benefit.
Said a we'll posted and well balanced
delegate who is pronounced administra-
tion man this morning: "The work OF
the convention is running along altogethar
too smoothly TO last. The antics are
taking things too easy. They have sprung
one or two things on the con-
vention in order TO learn the
strength of the two factions. In
both cases they have been defeated. But
they are not the kind of men to give in toe
easily. They came here prepared to make
big fight on the general officers from
Powderly down, and the policy Of the ad-
miristration inaugurated within the last
year, and they will cause trouble.

THE SUGAR TRUST
Formed for Mutual ProtectiOn-ProgreS
of the Deal.

Formed for Mutual ProtectiOn-Progress
of the Deal.
New YORK, October l2.-In regard to
the proposed Sugar Trust" the Sun says:
at is said that one secret of the present
efforts to form q combination, is the desire
of some of the older and richer refners, TO
get out of the business 1t is hard bust
ness to get out of, for the plant of sugar
house, while very expensive, is absolutely
unstable. 1t cannot be used for anything
else, and the people who want to under
take sugar refining are very few and hard
to tiud. If trust is formed
there will be a division of response
bility, and a lessening Of domestic
competition, both of which will prove very
grateful to the average refner. Moreover,
if the trust is represented by shares, the
property will be so divided up that even
small investors can obtain an interest in
the business. SnCh an arrangement would
enable the present refiners gradually to
retire from business, whereas now not one
of them could sell out. Although there
are some surface indications that the negO-
tiatiations are nearing an end, 1t was
learned yesterday that several important
points have still to he disposed OF.

BROAD ACCUSATION.
A Charge Brought by the "Nsws-Letter"
Against the Police.

n CharKe brought Dy the "NeWs-Leuer'
Against the Police.
A good deal Of excitement was caused
in police circles last night by the publica-
ton, in the Nclrs- Letter, ofa rumor, ascrib-
ed to "a prominent young business man."
wherein it wss charged that certain po-
licemanI had escorted "an attractive look
ing country girl" TO the residence Of pros
titute, the paragraph closing with the
statement that "the manner in which the
latter acted showed that he stood in with
the madame, and the whole thing WAS a
put-up job."
Chief Smith, on having his attention
called to the paragraph, was very indig-
nant, and denounced in severe language
the article which had thus cast an imputa.
tion upon the entire police force Of the city.
He said: "Why they did not lay the mat.
ter before me, ] do not know. IL they
were in possession of the officers name,
they should have printed IL or at least al.
lowed me TO make an Investigation, but
iustead Of that, they word the thing 70 n

force, and thus do great injustice 10 men
who must be innocent The thing must
be satisfactorily explained. ] am told
there was an incident at the building this
morning, which looks bad. Officer Deku

porter came TO headquarters this morning
and said he had il in for the police for al
lowing him 10 he ''scooped" on my visit 10
Wellsburg,' and that he would get even. ,
1t looks as il the matter had its origin
there
Mr.. Chew, Of the Naes. Letter, said there
was excellent authority for the publica-
tion, but declined 10 give that authority
or reveal the name OF the officer offending.
the latter for the reason that he did not
know it. He said the matter WA particu-
larly in the hands Of Mr.. Robertson, the
senior proprietor, and at the same time de.
MED that the expression alleged TO have
been made use Of by the reporter, at the
City Hall, had anything TO do with what
appeared in the paper He added that he
had no idea Of pleading the baby act.
Mr.. Robertson was not found by the
REGISTER reporter.
The reporter 10 whom the obnoxious
paragraph is credited, was approached on
the subject. He had very little 70 say,
except that lie denied having used the ex-
preston that he would get even with the
police" He admitted, however, that he
had complained that the officers had not
given him fair show.
Several officers seen during the evening
were very indignant at the reflection cast
upon them, and ali said they must he re-
lieyed Of the accusation.

New YORK, October l2-There was
a large number of stockholders present at
the Western Union meeting to-day, and
much interest shown in reading the annual

feature is vital one as it compares with de-
felt in meeting charges last year of

reached the enormous total of AZ, 39i, so.
The average receipts per message was re-
duced to 3Oi cents, against 30 go cents

handling to 23t cents, against "a cents the

saving that the facilities and advantages
afforded by the addition of the B. & o.

largely increase the revenues. This acqui-
sition and others made since the close Of

reached first on Caruther's wild throw.
Rowe hit half way to Caruthers and beat

Was America Ever Discovered

At the time when Columbus started In
search of the New World. nearly every
man, woman and child in Europe insisted
that there was no New World to discover.
When he came back, crowned with sue

pie adhered to their theory; and ii they
were alive to-day many Of them would
doubtless insist that America had never
been discovered at all. A man will give
mp anything in the world more readily
than pet theory. For example, look at
